Draw profile form
Drawing|Sheet|Profile form
The profile form cannot be printed from its original file type (.tpf). It must be inserted into a drawing. This will also make it easier to define the scale, size of plot, etc...
The procedure is as follows:
- Start a new drawing.
- Go to Sheet|Profile form.
- Select the profile form you want to print.
- Select an insertion point for the profile form. Select the length and scale of the form. If the profile form is too long to print out it can be split into two or more forms and each will still have the correct toolbox.
- Done
You can divide a profile form into several sheets or drawings. For example: if you enter 0 as the start section, and a length of 300, and then a start section of 300 and length of 300, the headers will be repeated and the profile form will be displayed correctly.
Tip! You can use the Co-ordinates toolbox to insert the profile form at the origin. This makes it is easier to create the length and height in the profile form.
Tip! If you start with a drawing sheet with a drawing view inserted and zoom in on this, it is easier to insert the profile form and check that it has the correct size and scale.
